Wiki problems


I went to a sciencemadness Wiki page and noticed a mistake. I tried to login and it automatically filled in my board username and said the password was incorrect, then later that there was no account associated with the username (when I tried to recover password by email). I then tried to create an account using my username and it said that it was already taken (I tried many variations on capitol letters & none), nothing worked. So I created a new account, completely different from anything used before.

The account creation went fine, I got an email to "verify" the account and that link worked, but then again I couldn't login.

I wanted to change a mistake on the Sodium thiosulfate page (top paragraph) that states that the heptahydrate is the most common form, when it should be pentahydrate. Not a huge deal, but I couldn't find any searches for it in the heptahydrate form in the databases.

I quickly corrected that, but I have no idea about your account. Somebody with the power and knowledge to fix that should take a look at that.



we apologize for the inconvenience

It doesn't require a special password to edit the wiki, does it? I have tried to log in with my normal science madness account to improve on some stubs but it didn't recognize my account after saying I had the wrong password.

Yes. A separate account and logon is needed. The wiki is separate from the board.
